According to this: https://www.spire-corp.com/power-supplies/pearl-550-sp-atx-550z-ppfc-l/

The PSU doesn't have a PCIe connector at all, and apparently it only has a 4x EPS (CPU) connector?

 

That PSU is garbage. I would change it if you can.

OK so i was looking for a new powersupply and i am seeing PCIe connectors 6+2. Does that mean 8 or is it atleast compatible with the GPU?

I think 6+2 means it can serve either as a 6 pin or an 8 pin connector, you should post in the psu forum for recommendation of psu according to your budget

This might offer some perspective. $60 is a good budget for a PSU, a quality PSU is a good investment. I personally recommend something like a Corsair RMX PSU.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

But everything except the PSU is ok right?

Yeah, if you want to go cheap on the PSU, get the Corsair CX450 (2017) as a minimum.

Better models are Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, Corsair RMx, ...

A quality 450W PSU will do just fine, I recommend the Corsair CXM, it is a decently built PSU and will be perfect for your build.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na

 

If you can stretch the budget by $10 then this SeaSonic Focus Gold unit is a 550W unit and of superior build quality to the CXM unit. It is also a good deal at the moment.

cx is cheaper and better, nonmod is easier to build in than mod for 450w because there's like only 2 or 3 cables you don't actually need (you could ziptie them or tape them to the bottom, tuck them under 24pin etc.)

But the GPU requiers atleast 500W
